* Controversial speaker coming to campus? Free webinar on disinvited
speakers and academic freedom*

September 26th/ 9am PDT/ 10am MDT/ 11am CDT/ 12pm EDT/ 4pm GMT

Over the past few years, the news has been replete with stories about how
authors, thought-leaders, and others have become disinvited or pressured to
withdraw from university speaking engagements because they don’t promote
prevailing ideology. What are the consequences of disallowing diverse
viewpoints on campus and what can speakers, faculty, and librarians do to
support intellectual freedom in academia?

Join the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom,
SAGE Publishing, and Index on Censorship for a webinar on speaker
disinvitation during Banned Books Week
<http://info.sagepub.com/c/197RUhbX69lEJEq0tdt1O>. It will include
perspectives from Mark Osler, a professor who was disinvited from a campus
speaking engagement, Glenn Geher, a professor of psychology who helped to
bring a controversial speaker to campus, and Judith C. Russell, a dean of
libraries who addresses issues relating to controversial speakers, academic
freedom, and campus safety on campus.

The webinar will be moderated by Jemimah Steinfeld from Index on Censorship
